FAQ: CD BioGlyco's Custom Glycoconjugate Synthesis Service

What is custom glycoconjugate synthesis?

Custom glycoconjugate synthesis involves linking glycans (mono-, oligo-, or polysaccharides) to proteins, lipids, or other carrier molecules using chemical techniques, enzyme-driven steps, or both methods combined.

How does CD BioGlyco create these glycoconjugates?

They use their Glyco™ Synthesis Platform where glycans from clients or made in-house are connected to carrier molecules, employing chemical activation and coupling methods or enzyme-based methods using glycosyltransferases.

What quality control measures are in place?

Each batch is carefully reviewed multiple times to confirm structure and uniformity, though small differences may appear which is normal in lab work, and adjustments are made when necessary.

What are the research applications of these glycoconjugates?

They enable scientists to observe how glycans affect cell recognition, signaling, and immune responses, serve as reagents for preparing materials, study molecular interactions, and make experiments possible that would be difficult with unmodified molecules.

Can researchers request specific modifications?

Yes, researchers can ask for particular modifications or labels on the saccharides, proteins, or lipids depending on their experimental requirements.

Who typically uses this service?

The service is used by research teams in laboratories and biomedical experiments, with CD BioGlyco particularly enjoying collaborations with academic teams to tackle new or unexpected research questions.
